How old is this bodystyle? I saw the header image and seriously thought it was a press image from the late 90s. Have they actually been making these with exactly the same styling for that long?

That article specifically describes the number as the cost of a NEW car. Of course your cost is outlandishly high if you only look at the year you buy a new car and factor in depreciation.

My point is that there’s not physically enough space around a typical office building to fit housing for all of it’s occupants. Even ignoring the fact that most workplaces are zoned for business and there is zero nearby housing, you’d need a highrise twice the size of an office building full of miniscule apartments to…

The thing is, the ‘smaller and more nimble’ Gallardo is still well above what anyone can actually use on the street. That 350HP Miura is not (though doing so probably takes more skill than most people have anyway).

“Cars like the Evo won’t be around forever. Clarkson is right about that. But when they go, they’ll go to usher in something bigger and better than what we’d have thought possible. And we’ll all be just fine.”

The price of living in a city (close enough that you don’t have to drive) is always going to far exceed what anyone normal can make working in said city. It’s not physically possible for housing to keep up with office space.

It’s freakishly expensive to have those bumper holes filled and painted properly (most places will want to repaint the whole bumper and charge like $500 for it).

And this is why so many people who do understand tech and have the time for it hate Apple. Cutting out features and functionality to make it easier for everyone else makes it harder and less functional for those that do know what they’re doing. (Charging more for less doesn’t help either.)

I actually think the Supra looks pretty good. I don’t like the styling of the new Corvette at all.

Apple is one of the worst tech companies out there, but even they aren’t dumb enough to think automakers are going to pay $X every year forever on every single car they sell.  I’m sure they charge them some flat license fee per unit, but they aren’t charging them year over year.

Paying a recurring fee for android auto and/or car play is basically the same thing as paying a recurring fee for a USB cable. The other products you mention are, at least in theory, ongoing services. Car play is not.

I’d give it approximately a week before someone figures out how to disable the car’s ‘phone home’ connectivity or whatever it uses to check if your service is still active. If it doesn’t even have one and tries to use the connected device for it, it’ll probably only take a couple hours of general availability for…

“And thank the Lord the infotainment screen wasn’t tacked cheaply on top of the dash”

Rip out the screen and it’d actually look pretty great. If I wanted an iPad duct-taped to my dash I could do it myself.

This has tons of buttons AND a dumb touchscreen.  Drop the touchscreen and it’d look great.  With it, it looks terrible (like just about every other modern interior, completely ruined by an unnecessary screen).

There are jobs in other cities or other states though.  There’s just about zero careers that exist only in California.  And the pay increase for working in an expensive area is almost always substantially below the cost of living increase.

Move to Ohio.  You can get a run-down but still basically functional house for $30k in the less desirable parts of town.  $100k pays for a pretty nice house with a small yard.  It’s probably even cheaper further away from the city.

Isn’t this typical for like, every Nintendo controller ever? Anyone ever looked at a gamecube controller that’s more than a few years old? Springs wear out, fast. Nintendo’s past several generations of hardware have been just a long string of terrible (but profitable) decisions, mostly with low build quality.

I’m going to guess that the owner went to a car wash, they put one of those dumb plastic bag things around the wiper, and they forgot to take it off. For several weeks. And the bag filled with water.

Yeah... Don’t try changing the plugs on a GT86/BRZ (or most flat engines, for that matter) unless you have either a two year old’s hands, an engine hoist, or about three days to attempt doing it without lifting the engine before giving up and buying an engine hoist anyway.
